You obviously have not read the entire series. You just saw the movie of the 2nd book. To understand more, you need to read the first book, "The Magician's Nephew". It explains how Narnia came to be, and how the children actually got into Narnia.

I was going to mention that not having read the book series I might have missed much of the connecting tissue. I will read them, but that aside, the movie still sucked.

Isn't The Magician's Nephew really more like a "prequel" to Lion, Witch, Wardrobe? While, technically, it occurs before LWW, it always seemed to me that you needed to read LWW first, and then have some gaps filled in with TMN.

It used to be the first book. The order has been changed in the past few years.

I thot it was terrific. And beautiful. And heroic. And well-acted. And true to the books. CS Lewis wasn't quite up to your standards?? haha.
